A wolf, in the course of time, had collected a store in his den, that he might have food, which he might enjoy at his ease for many months. A fox, on learning this, went to the wolf's den, and said with tremulous voice: "Is all right, brother? for not having seen you on the look-out for prey in your woods, life has been saddened every day." The wolf, when he perceived the envy of his rival, replied: "You have not come hither from any anxiety on my account, but that you may get a share. I know what is your deceitful aim." The fox enraged, comes to a shepherd, and says: "Shepherd, will you return me thanks, if to-day I deliver up to you the enemy of your flock, so that you need have no more anxiety?" The shepherd replied: "I will serve you, and will with pleasure give you anything you like." She points out the wolf's den to the shepherd, who shuts him in, despatches him immediately with a spear, and gladly gratifies his rival with the property of another. When, however, the fox had fallen into the hunter's hands, being caught and mangled by the dogs, she said: "Hardly have I done an injury to another, ere I am now punished myself." 
Whoever ventures to injure another, ought to beware lest a greater evil befall himself.
